Acer Chromebook Spin 713 review

Acer adds to its Chromebook range with the new Spin 713 that features premium specs and a mid-range price. It's one of the best you can buy

Acer is a company that has consistently supported the Chromebook platform and over the years it’s released some excellent models.

Now, a new mid-to-high-end version has arrived, with a taller display, Intel Core processors and bang-up-to-date Wi-Fi connectivity. I take a look at the Spin 713 to see if all that practice has made perfect.

I’ve tested the top-end Core i5 model but you can also get the 713 in Core i3 and Pentium Gold SKUs.

Design & Build

The initial aesthetic of the Spin 713 is that of a business laptop, mainly due to the minimalistic silvery grey livery and bevelled lid edges that lend it a premium quality.

Running a hand along the sides of the device reveals slight curvatures that go inwards once past the ports, but the most obvious difference to standard Chromebooks (or indeed most laptops) is the taller nature of the metal chassis.

Two thick hinges support the ability to fold the display back through 360 degrees, all of which is made more useful due to the touch screen capabilities.
